I have managed to scratch quite badly, 3 side windows, removing frost. I only use the rubber squeegee side but still managed it mad
I have tried Farecla G6 body compound, it's reduced them but not got rid of them.

Any ideas gratefully received, thanks Z

thanks for all the tips. I have some rouge, brasso, but no diamond polish, (who supplies this) and now it's dark, so will have to wait to try them all out. Will post results and give you my opinions. Z

I did a non scientific test today. Rouge v Brasso v Autoglym Glass Polish. All applied by hand on a cotton wool ball.

Rouge reduced the test scratch to almost nothing, but left it smeary.
Brasso did pretty much the same thing but polished up.
Autoglym made no difference to the scratch but cleaned the glass really well. I don't think it's a scratch polish, just a polish.
The deeper scratches were reduced but still visible.

Conclusion, don't scratch the bloody glass in the first place. If I keep polishing it, I think it will eventually go, but life is too short.
